[ Tidus is wagging his wrist, suggestive that he smarted it somehow. After muttering something about a stupid bracelet, he glances at the screen with small surprise and seems to forget all about bruise forming on his wrist joint, a result from hitting his bracelet against a table until it worked. ]

O-oh, hey! Hey! Has anyone seen my old man—err, I mean Jecht? I've been looking everywhere, and I haven't seen a sign of him!

[ Evidently, there's a PB&J sandwich sitting nearby. He takes a generous bite out of it and talks with his mouth full. ]

Y'know, I ha' a fee'ing tha'—[ swallow ]—I'm not where I was supposed to go. I mean, I've never heard of a place called Asgard before. And who is this Thor guy, anyway? I don't recall ever pledging my allegiance to him. I swear, if this turns into another Yevon situation, I'll… I'll show 'im!

[ He sighs and takes another bite of his sandwich. He doesn't even know what his options are. With a headache forming, he ends his train of thought prematurely and scratches the back of his neck. Then, he seems to address the screen more personally. ]

Look, Dad, if you're around here… well, I'm not in a hurry, I guess, but I want to say a few words to you now that everything's settled. And you being here also means I'm in the right place, which I feel isn't the case. Or who knows, really? So anyways, just say something or come find me, if you're there.

And to everyone else? The name's Tidus! I'm from... [ shrug ] Zanarkand!

[ Finished. He pops the last of his sandwich in his mouth. ]

Tidus?!

[dfghdlkhkjkj NO WAY]

[zanarkandbabe]

!! Rikku! What are you doing here!?

[ NOT THAT HE'S NOT HAPPY TO SEE YOU! ]

video

[disasterrific]

What am I doing here? What are you doing here?! We looked all over Spira for a way to get you back to Yunie, and you show up here?!

[machinajackass]

Tidus..Jecht..why do those names sound familiar?

video

[zanarkandbabe]

I, uh... Do I know you?

video

[machinajackass]

No, you probably wouldn't.

I'm Gippal, leader of the Machine Faction. I'm from Spira too.

[brightens]

Never heard of a Zanarkand before... You said you're looking for your dad?

[zanarkandbabe]

Zanarkand is a place! And yeah, I mean, I guess I am. It's kind of confusing for me. Who're you?

[Video]

[selphie_t]

[Selphie's staring at you in surprise for a few seconds before shaking her head.]

Nope, haven't seen him. Sorry.

But uh... I'll keep an eye out for him Tidus. Oh, my name's Selphie by the way and are you alright?

[Video]

[zanarkandbabe]

[ Tidus smiles very suddenly. ]

Yeah, I'm fine! A little confused, but I'm kind of a veteran at waking up in strange places. [ A small chuckle. ] Thanks for your help, Selphie.

video!

[struckout]

[ ... Is that... one of those...

Oh damn, it totally is. Lightning can see the mixture of brown and mashed fruit from here-

-- Inside his mouth. That he is failing to close as he devours it.


Forgive the staring, Tidus. This is a woman who is thinking only one thing.


This guy

must never, ever

meet Snow.

[ ... -DIES- ]

Uhh hey! Is something wrong?

[ smack

smack

smack

And the finger-licking begins.]

[punching]

[OH MY GOD HE HAPPENS TO BE EATING A PB 'N J TOO. His favourite staple ever since he first discovered them (and then ended up getting flipped backwards in his chair. Good call.)

Mouth half-full, Snow raises a fist to the screen. A bro-fist. As if to say, party on, PB&J brutha. We are united in our love of shitty sandwiches.]

Heeey! [It's muffled, and then he swallows.]

Sorry man, haven't seen your dad. Hope you find 'im! And uh, I don't think any of us're really where we were supposed to go. So don't worry! [Another bite of his 'wich. AW YEAH THAT'S THE STUFF!] W're 'n th's t'g'thurr*!

(* We're in this together!)

[Thumbs up!]

[NOT HERE]

[struckout]

[ Disturbance in the Force: Sensed.

D8 ]

[zanarkandbabe]

[ This was the single most encouraging response besides Rikku's. Tidus could cry. In fact, his eyes do get a little shiny, because he's a crybaby.

He reaches under his bed for the PB&J he was going to save for later, takes a large bite out of it, and returns this righteous bro's thumbs up with one of his own. YEAAAAH ]

Th'nks m'n! H'y wh't's y'r n'me?*

(*Thanks man! Hey what's your name?)

action; indeed we can!

[disasterrific]

[from here

Rikku's at the center thing in record time. She hasn't seen Tidus in two years, and she missed him almost as much as Yunie. He was her friend!]

ackshin

[zanarkandbabe]

[ For some reason it was a lot easier to see and believe Rikku on video, because locating her in person is proving more difficult. Besides, her appearance has changed, and he's not all that good at remembering details like what was so different about her. He sees her eventually and runs her way, waving a hand above his head. ]

Rikku, over here!

[waypastcool]

[Some dude who's snackin'? Well, have a hedgehog snacking on a chili dog. Nom, nom, nom... swallow.

Okay, now then.]

Never heard of 'em or this Zanarkand place. But, hey, maybe you'll luck out and bump into 'em! Looks like new people are gettin' sucked in like juice through a straw.

video

[zanarkandbabe]

[ Sorry, Tidus is too distracted by this talking blue creature (what the heck is a hedgehog?) nomin' on a chili dog. He examines the screen, way too impressed to speak for some solid seconds. ]

Uh, y-yeah! Maybe! Er, what—I mean, who are you?

[video]

[peacocked]

[he can't help but smile at the guy's attitude.] Thor is supposedly one of the Gods of this place, of what he... governs over, so to speak, I have yet to figure out. But to answer your other question, no. I don't think I've seen or heard of a Jecht.

[video]

[zanarkandbabe]

[ Shrugggg. ] That's okay! It's not urgent or anything, I've gone a good lot of my life without him. He'll turn up eventually.

But yeah, I heard this is some sort of city of gods. Not something I want to deal with, to be honest.

[titties]

I don't like it either. ... Dammit. If they wanted us to listen to whatever they said, isn't kidnapping us an ill tactic to use in the first place?

[zanarkandbabe]

Wait, everybody here was kidnapped!?

video.

[departing]

You're from Zanarkand? I'm sorry but we're no where near Zanarkand.

I've never met a man named Jecht either.

video.

[zanarkandbabe]

Oh. Yeah, I've kind of gotten that impression so far... Thanks for your help, though.

But hey, you have any idea where we are exactly? Geographically, I mean?
